Axios: Your Turkey Has a Carbon Footprint and You Are Destroying the Environment by Celebrating Thanksgiving

You probably won't ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey -- but some food and climate activists say you should.
Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers' priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.
The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming -- even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.
"Raising and processing a four-ounce turkey serving is the equivalent of nearly three miles' worth of tailpipe emissions," said Iris Myers, the group's senior communications manager.

A four ounce turkey?

Axios is a professionally edited media publication.

...
In 2016, Carnegie Mellon researchers calculated the state-by-state footprint of a typical feast, including roast turkey stuffed with sausage and apples, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.
They found that meals prepared in Washington state and Vermont emitted the lowest amounts of carbon dioxide. Hydropower and wind provide about two-thirds of Washington's energy. while renewables provide almost all of Vermont's.
States that rely more on coal, such as Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky, had the highest Turkey Day emissions, the researchers found.

This is important research that I have been compelled to fund.

By the numbers: Thrown-away food is a big contributor to climate change. A new analysis by the anti-food waste group ReFED estimates that 320 million pounds of food will get tossed out this Thanksgiving.
That's the equivalent of more than 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or about the same as driving 190,000 gasoline-powered vehicles for a year, ReFED said.
Of those emissions, 4,800 metric tons of methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- come from sending that food to landfills.
The bottom line: "Try not to buy more bird than you and your family will eat," Myers said.

Wellllll... generally I would say of course no one should buy and cook more food than they expect to eat, but Thanksgiving is an exception, because, of course, no one knows how many relatives and guests will show up. People make "too much food" because they don't want neighbors to show up without anything to offer them.

But most people will wind up eating most of that over the course of the week.

Thank you for ruining literally everything, Sanctimonious Sociopaths Satanic-Religious Fanatics.

Speaking of your carbon footprint: It is now cheaper to expand your carbon footprint than it's been since, well, Trump's first term.

Gas prices -- and food prices, and rent prices -- are at their lowest levels since covid shutdowns and Biden's printing of trillions of fake dollars.

Thanksgiving gas prices & meals haven’t been this low since the last time President Trump was in office. Inflation, interest rates & income taxes are also coming down! pic.twitter.com/cuGzoPbrSV

Prices are generally down, Thanksgiving meals from Target and Walmart are significantly cheaper, and gas is the lowest it’s been in years.

Yes there are things to cherry-pick for being higher, but Trumpenomics is working.

Gas prices near the lowest level in four years, according to AAA.

"A lot of this has to do with the fall in the price of oil, which couldn't be more timely as we get into Thanksgiving," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, explains. https://t.co/WD2JQ03HBt pic.twitter.com/naxjxSVm2s

Is everyone ready?

And is everyone here? Or are you already playing hooky?

I'm playing half-hooky. I wrote a bunch of posts last night and did a couple this morning so I'm kind of done for the day unless there's some breaking news. Knock wood!

Today's blogging won't be good. I aimed for "barely acceptable" and I nearly hit that mark. I figure most of you are tuned out, and the news is slow before and during holidays. (Again, knock wood.)

I have to run out to the store to get the holiday branded "Creamy Vanilla" Coke Zero. The store I tried to order from was out. I guess this is a new version of Vanilla Coke.

Question for you cooks: I have both an electronic thermometer and those little plastic pop-up turkey thermometers. Do those little plastic ones work well? If they're a couple of years old, do they still work?

Garsh I wouldn't want to produce even one excess CO2 molecule more than strictly necessary!

The pop-up ones are useless and lead to an overcooked bird, and turkey is already difficult enough to make well.

Use your electronic one.

If you want to invest in a really good one, get a Thermapen One. Yes it's $90 but it's also the Ferrari of meat thermometers.

29 Self-willowed:

As I started approaching 29, I occasionally found myself indulging in the "If Only"s.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

83 Re pop up. Ditto--they are unreliable. Electronic with a wireless probe are useful if you have already made sure that it works as to temperature consistency and wireless connectivity.

FWIW, Roasting pans with a cooking rack inside it are useful if cooking something large like a Turkey.

They tend to keep temperatures consistent and moisture in balance so the turkey does not dry out.

High fat content meat does not require it but the drippings from such are usually delicious and well worth using in gravy or other cooking as well.

Wednesday Morning Non-Rant

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to reflect on the good in our lives. The day to day can be dull or even pretty lousy and there will always be particularly bad days and personal disasters. In bad years, many days be will be of this type. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to take a step back and consider our blessings, even when we might otherwise forget that we have them.

Blessings are manifold, despite the tribulations. Thanksgiving is a holiday rooted in tribulation, from the informal celebrations of often hard-pressed colonists in early New England to its relatively recent form first proclaimed during the depths of war in 1863. It wasn't formalized in law until just before WWII, but by then it was a formality (though it did, of course, provide much cause for disagreement in the particulars).

Some are alienated. Some are poor. Some are disabled. Some are depressed. Some are in pain. All of these and more are real, and can feel as if they define us. Stepping back, taking a breath, and counting blessings is important. While many things may be bad, not all things are bad, and Thanksgiving helps us to acknowledge that which is good.

So long as one is able to acknowledge and experience gratitude, Thanksgiving is all things to all men. It is serious and joyful. It is a solemn reflection as well as a lighthearted celebration. It is religious if you want it to be, or secular if that is your preference. Gratitude as such is worth celebrating, and Thanksgiving helps us recognize and celebrate it. Family, faith and the fact of life itself are all worthy of gratitude!

Whatever your situation this Thanksgiving, I fervently hope that you have the opportunity to consider that for which you are thankful, and that your have a joyous and hopeful holiday!

10 I recently befriended a gay couple who was evicted from their family when they came out.

They are living with a friend until they get back on their feet, one of them lost a job due to no fault of their own around the same time.

I think most of us here take the roof over our heads for granted. I am definitely thankful I have a safe and warm place to lay my head every night.

28 I really don't trust many polls but one came out saying that the midterms are not looking good.

On the one hand we have Trump, head of the Republican party settle 8 conflicts around the world, cut inflation from 9% to 2.6% while real wages are rising, deep state being cut down to size (a bit), chucks out 2MM illegals thus far, cuts taxes for workin' folk.

And the Pedocrats are 5% ahead for the midterms. All while the Pedos have done nothing but run a color revolution and release their military auxiliaries.

Yup. People consciously don't trust the media. Trust in the media is at a historic low.

But that doesn't mean that the other side gets filled in just because when asked on a poll and you think of it you say you don't trust the media. The ubiquity of the legacy media plays a role, in generally getting people to believe something.

After all, the more you hear a statement the closer your brain comes to perceiving it as true. The brain is even more an organ of recognition than rigor.

my worst Thanksgiving was the year my mom passed away. My bro and I went to a restaurant near his house...the food was near inedible.
I don't know how anyone can mess up Thanksgiving dinner, but that place certainly did. If the food had been at least passable, it *may* have lessened the sting of Mom being gone.

Smart enough. The news is always centered around conflict and bad things while the good news is often not covered or covered very incompletely.

Finally! It should have been dropped when Fani Willis was disqualified, but the Georgia Supreme Court was too timid to go that far, instead asking that some other Prosecutor take it over. Everyone in Fani's office was barred from taking it, so they had to look to some other prosecutor's office in Georgia. EVERY Prosecutor in Georgia turned it down and refused to touch it, it was sucn an obvious stinkbomb. So the guy in charge of getting another Prosecutor to take that case said "ok I'll do it myself."
Which was ridiculous, he never had the resources or staff to even touch something like this.
So he finally wised up and bailed. And it's over.

I'm thankful for McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan and others for failing so hard they gave us Trump, who thankfully got Drudge, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the rest of GOPe Inc to expose and destroy themselves lol.

Aside from personal family things, I am pretty Thankful Trump 2.0 seems to have learned a lot from his first term, and is taking immigration VERY seriously, despite the non-stop resistance. I'm also thankful SCOTUS has been much more willing to step in, shut down lower court overreach nonsense, and overturn bad legal precedents despite decades of prior allowance. May it continue into next term!

Georgia law when a prosecutor is removed from a case. Skadalakis had to take the case over in order to kill it as he could find no other GA prosecutor willing to take the case in order to dismiss it. As Skandalakis was executive director of the Prosecutorial Council, he was not at risk from leftist idiots in the population wanting vengeance for Trump winning in 2020 and 2024.

Most polls are garbage and yutes are the most changeable of all categories based on whatever they read last. Shitload of propaganda on TikTok and X have been dumped on the American population by foreigners and they ain't friendly to much of anything in the West.

I keep tabs on the alt right influencers and many of them have went toward outright anti Semitic fantasies and relied on the confluence between secular Jews in the West and leftism. Such is the stupid argument that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mossad because it could not be a troon boy lover shooting at short range.

So the whole religion of Judaism and Israel become the scapegoat of the West for idiotic decision made by their own politicians to strip their wealth, take their futures away, and bring in foreigners of every nasty disposition to displace them.

I despise bigots and those pied piper influencers that try lead people astray all for money and perhaps a slice of power. Satanic really.

Not feeding them which is direct response to a particular troll. In my case, it is a general rule of thumb to ignore the troll but also debunk the stupidity for others that might be attracted by troll droppings.

Trolls are best thought of as a class of NPCs that only serve to disrupt, promote disinformation, and spread propaganda so as to dishearten, deceive, and promote ill will. And those that do it for pay are the worst of the worst-I have scraped dog turds off my shoes that were better than them.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

Octav Băncilă (Romanian pronunciation: [okˈtav bənˈt͡ʃilə]; 4 February 1872 – 3 April 1944) was a Romanian realist painter and left-wing activist. He was the brother of Sofia Nădejde, a feminist journalist, and the brother-in-law of Ioan Nădejde [ro] (an atheist and socialist thinker, editor of the magazine Contemporanul).

One time a crew of folks asked him about the best way of setting up a bank of computers to crunch a bunch of numbers for some wacked out theory of determining the properties of non-linear Hilbert space (I’m just making that up, you get the idea) and he asked what the problem was. They told him, and he went into his far off look, mumbling to himself. A few seconds later “That won’t work. Here’s the answer”. He did the calculations in his head.

It's not panic, just trying to remember a new skill, in this case the multiplication tables. But the ragged clothes and short, institutional haircut adds some tension to the scene. I can't tell what medium was used. It looks to me like pastels. I looked at some of the artist's other paintings on his Wiki page and didn't care for them but this one is much better.

Posted by: muldoon at November 26, 2025 09:40 AM (/iMjX)

-------------

[Per Etymonline (not to be confused with our online 'Ettes):]

aftermath (n.)

1520s, originally "a second crop of grass grown on the same land after the first had been harvested," from after + -math, which is from Old English mæð "a mowing, cutting of grass" (from PIE root *me- "to cut down grass or grain").

Other words for it were aftercrop (1560s), aftergrass (1680s), lattermath, fog. The figurative sense is by 1650s. Compare French regain "aftermath," from re- + Old French gain, gaain "grass which grows in mown meadows," from Frankish or some other Germanic source similar to Old High German weida "grass, pasture."

When the summer fields are mown,
When the birds are fledged and flown,
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the falling of the snow,
With the cawing of the crow,
Once again the fields we mow
And gather in the aftermath.

[Longfellow, from "Aftermath"]

178 He's looking at his cheat sheet to decipher how to solve the problem using the new Common Core method.

the Common Core standards introduced in 2010, emphasizes conceptual understanding over rote memorization of procedures. This approach encourages students to break down multiplication problems into smaller, more manageable parts using visual and conceptual tools.

A common technique is the "box method" or area model, where numbers are decomposed into their place values (e.g., 35 becomes 30 and 5, and 12 becomes 10 and 2), and then multiplied in a grid format.

The partial products from each cell of the grid are then summed to find the final result. For example, multiplying 35 by 12 involves calculating 30×10=300, 30×2=60, 5×10=50, and 5×2=10, which are then added together to get 420.

Exactly. Resisting the left, who have this schedule of History of phases we have to go through.

Gentile and Mussolini had a discrete falling out because Gentile, the theorist of fascism, was much more progressive than Mussolini turned out to be. Their first rift was whether or not the Catholic Church should be involved. Mussolini reasoned that so many Italians were Catholic that it made sense to secure support from where you can.

Heuristic for a typology. Jerry Pournelle (later his two d matrix was used by Libertarians with their smallest political ideology test). Jerry back when he was a poli sci prof at Pepperdine, came up with two dimensions of economic and social differences in political ideology. Think it was published in a journal at the time but certainly he would discuss it throughout his life.

The Right in Euroland has a specific meaning rooted in history based on blood and history of a nation and usually included preservation of royalty and state religions when those were a thing. Less useful on the right in the US because of the whole royalty and state religion thing being dumped but often there is a related term of Heritage Americans aka descendants of the original English/Scots/Irish/German settlers versus immigrant latecomers in the 1850's and later.

Some argue for a creed based nation of ideals but that has the problem of defining exactly what the creed to be preserved contains.

Nowadays, at least in the US, it is easier to define the Right by what it is not--the Left.

Probably as the Macy's parade is finishing up - that's when the lunch tray goes out (and no one eats anything else til dinner with the tray).

Spouse picked Italian for the theme, so we have proscuitto (for me), speck, and salami with some roasted tomato mozzarella and 4 other cheese slice things (I don't eat it, so can't remember what they are), and some varied crackers (and now the bread, too). Then the pumpkin dip with apples, asian pears, pineapple, and clementines. I put out 2 trays (and take my meat from the pack, so I can just dairy up the one) - one the proteins and one the fruit and dips, and it works for 7...

I do try to spread the "cooking" and "eating" nice stuff all day, so kids get good food memories from dawn to dusk (and dessert is lightest b/c no one really wants it)...

100*87/2 = 8700/2 = 4350

17400+4350 = 21750

21750-100+(100-87)= 21650+13 = 21663

Posted by: no one
=======
Gramsci was a Communist (not fascist like Gentile) but argued the best way to rectify Marx's mistake. Marx proposed economic classes as the way to promote revolution; Gramsci argued post WWI where Commie revolutions largely failed including places like Germany that Marx assumed would be at the forefront, that in the industrialized West, a long march through institutions was necessary including social organizations.

Basically seize the heights of the socioeconomy of states rather than rely on a revolution by the proletariat.

244 The Right in Euroland has a specific meaning rooted in history based on blood and history of a nation and usually included preservation of royalty and state religions when those were a thing. Less useful on the right in the US because of the whole royalty and state religion thing being dumped but often there is a related term of Heritage Americans aka descendants of the original English/Scots/Irish/German settlers versus immigrant latecomers in the 1850's and later.
---
Right, because on this side of the pond, we're anti-monarchal from the get-go. Hereditary rule doesn't even enter the question, once the union got going.

The "Right" of the French Revolution weren't even that traditional, they just reasoned that offspring--especially the very young--of the nobles don't need to be killed for having been born noble. For that they were called "counterrevolutionaries".

People really need to realize that the left becoming more extremely selective and violent is an illustratable historical pattern.

Posted by: Axeman

I think the violence comes from a loosely knit class of people that want to rule others but don't have the connections, money, or power to pull it off via those means.

So they rely on the crudest forms of control which is by violence. And then like starving dogs, they fight among themselves for scraps of power when they take over a state.

Only evil and/or corrupt people would want to rule over unwilling subjects by violence. Even most kings were constained by the idea of Christianity in the West. Commies have no such scruples because to them, common people are akin to potato chips. They can always make more (an error turns out but that is the way they feel).

Spend money to the greatest extent possible on 1) a good or 2) a service. Government is neither. Make government as small as you can get away with.

Watch inflation turn to nothing.

312 There is no "far right". "Far right" is a label the left and imposters on the right attach to positions that tend to discard "right" positions while attaching things the right doesn't believe in so as to cause confusion and derision.
Posted by: Crusader
======
Nominal measures of Left and Right that some activists believe can be calibrated into an ordinal measure similar to a number line where a theoretical zero would indicate a moderate and then each additional notch such as center left, left, far left and similar to that on the right.

Difficult to do in practice because no one agrees on the rank ordering of policies that denote the ordinal measuring point.

Ends up being bad rhetoric with little to no dialectical truth within it.

I prefer *functional* analysis. There is no substance or function of "right".

Is it to put everything under the government or is it to decentralize government?

The first one is fascism, proper, and the second one is American conservative centrism.

The fascists don't tend to want a "200-year-old piece of paper" tell them what rules have to be followed, any rules and inhibit the state are detrimental to the interests of the state.

So what happens when you want a strong military? Well, then you're a "fascist", a "nationalist", even though the one national function you think we ought to have is one laid out in the "200-year-old piece of paper"
that still gets in the way of the "progress of the state".

363 Is this a thing? Because this dounds like a thing.

Without diving deep yet into the Hong Kong fire that's happening right now November 26, 2025, I have a couple thoughts.

1. Wrapping your building in flammable materials (bamboo scaffolding) for construction work in 2025 is a wild choice, especially in a high rise.

2. Wrapping multiple high rise buildings within feet of each other in flammable materials is an even worse choice.

3. Dried bamboo burns incredibly well as it is, but the addition of spacing for the scaffolding from floor to floor likely allowed for greater airflow allowing for a much more efficient burn and travel up the exterior of the building.

4. The death toll currently stands at 14 and I can almost guarantee that will rise, potentially by a lot. The hope here is fire crews in Hong Kong realized they were dealing with an exterior fire spreading up the building and had the capability and awareness to sound a general evacuation, especially of the other buildings before they ignited.

5. This could be Grenfell all over again. Except multiplied by 4.

380 It takes longer to type it up than to do it on paper, but the shortcut is (assuming that curly digit is a 9 - I recognize the European 7):

249 x 87 = (250 - 1) x (90 - 3),
= 250 x 90 - 1 x 90 - 3 x 250 - 1 x (-3),
= 22500 - 90 - 750 + 3,

22410
- 750
+ 3
——-
21663

249 x 87 = 21,663

You would be voting for anyone with an R next to their name. They could be calling for an armed invasion of Mars to take out the Martians that live there. And you’d be like whatever, he’s not a Democrat. Where do I send the donation to his campaign?

That’s what a lot of people today feel like regarding Trump. The AWFL in TN could say that about anything and it doesn’t matter. The election is about Trump and nothing else.

Distinguishes it from a 1 with the little doohickey on top. And the doohickey distinguishes the 1 from a lower-case L. And a capital i has serifs so it doesn't look like a lower-case L

Because humans are lazy and like writing a vertical slash for a bunch of stuff, we have to complicate stuff.

All of the social sciences are replete with bad data. That being said, never throw away data because it is bad--figure out a way to use the bad data in a probabilistic sense so as to separate the gold from the dross.

So the lazy fascist smear by leftists does not mean that fascism itself as a concept is invalid. Same with right or left as nominal markers of ideology. It is whether or not the data exists to support or not support the concept as applied to specific cases.

The Morning Report — 11/26/25

Good morning kids. Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a thing. But from Chi-Com run "police stations" in major American cities with Chinese immigrant communities, to Chinese intelligence assets everywhere from research labs to the Confucius Institutes on our campuses, to vast tracts of farmland and real estate bordering our military installations owned by the Chi-Coms, and to actual Chinese intel assets embedded in the administrations of local, state and even national governmental officials, dig a bit deeper into the story of several high level American politicians, all ex service members and some still in the reserves, creating a video essentially encouraging American military personnel to commit acts of insubordination and perhaps even insurrection and Treason by as they say "disobeying any illegal orders from the Commander-in-Chief, that being President Trump.

I have never served in the military, but from what I understand of training, every recruit, especially those who are in the officer corps whether coming up through the ranks or as graduates of our military academies, are thoroughly instructed as to what constitutes an "illegal order" and at the very least have the barest minimum of moral rectitude and conscience to know the difference between right and wrong in the context of carrying out their mission. And so in my estimation, we have propagandists and much worse, foreign-influenced agents provocateurs internally sowing dissent in the ranks and laying the groundwork for actual mutiny.

So, the despicable reprehensible behavior of Senator Mark Kelly almost comes as no shock:

On Monday, the Department of War announced that Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be “recall[ed] to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures” because of his participation in what has now been dubbed the “Seditious Six” video. . . While Kelly’s participation in his party’s “Seditious Six” gambit is certainly egregious, it shouldn’t be considered surprising. For years, the Arizona Democrat has regularly undertaken actions that undermine America’s national security. . .
. . . the Arizona senator criticized the Trump Pentagon’s plans to investigate the retired general [Mark (vanilli) Milley]for reportedly telling his Chinese counterpart that the Trump-led U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. Rather than condemn Milley’s purported actions, Kelly leapt to his defense. . . It’s almost fitting that Kelly’s apparent lack of concern over Milley’s reported actions involved America’s greatest geopolitical adversary, given the retired Navy captain’s extensive ties to entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party. . . As has been widely reported in recent years, prior to becoming a senator, Kelly co-founded the Arizona-based space tourism company World View in 2012. According to a 2020 report by RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree, World View received investment funds in 2014 and 2016 from Tencent, a Chinese tech giant that owns (and reportedly monitors) the Chinese messaging app WeChat. (Tencent is also known for suspending streaming of NBA games in 2019 after a league general manager voiced support for the Hong Kong protestors.) . . .But Kelly’s role in World View is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2020, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Arizona Democrat was an adviser to and “held a significant financial interest in a Colorado company that partnered with a Chinese state-financed tech giant to bring supersonic aerospace technology to China in 2018,

Just as surely as mythical Senator Pat Geary was owned by Don Emilio Barzini, Mark Kelly is likely owned by Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. Period Full Stop. And as absolutely disastrous as it would be for one American politician especially at this level to essentially be an intelligence asset of our greatest foreign rival if not enemy (which they sure as hell are) the horrifying reality is that Kelly is not a one-off.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has filed a federal civil lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Bill Pulte, accusing him of violating privacy laws by accessing his confidential mortgage records. Swalwell claims these records were improperly used to refer him to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for an investigation into mortgage and tax fraud allegations.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Pulte engaged in “unprecedented and unlawful” practices by obtaining mortgage records through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Swalwell, who recently announced his candidacy for Governor of California, stated that the disclosure of these records damaged his reputation at a critical political moment.Pulte has also referred other prominent Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, to the DOJ for investigation. Schiff and James have denied wrongdoing, while Cook is challenging her removal from the Federal Reserve Board by the Trump administration in a case the Supreme Court will hear in January.

Swalwell is small potatoes, but he is illustrative of how far down the corruptibility of our politicians and others to foreign influence, in this case the Chi-Coms, goes. He was given the nickname of Yum-Yum by GOP Rep Troy Nehls for the former's intimate relationship with know Chinese spy Christine Fang. Currently: Eric Swalwell is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Homeland Security. He also serves on the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law and the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. Yeah, shagging a Chi-Com spy is no big deal in this context, is it?!

But all that said, what would happen in the event that Red China attacked or attempted to invade and conquer Taiwan by force as they have been planning and itching to do since 1949 and for the past several years have been openly threatening and even planning vis a vis the acquisition of the military hardware necessary for a seaborne operation, as well as the weaponry to prevent a swift American naval response to block such a move.

If President Trump's command authority were undermined in advance by the actions of Kelly and his co-conspirators who have sown dissent and ultimately mutiny in the ranks, it would certainly give the Chi-COM PLA and Navy a strategic edge they might otherwise not have had.

Kelly deserves the wrong end of a rope as do all the others.

Have a good day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

17 6 million of the 12 million migrants have Individual tax numbers and work and pay taxes.

So 50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens, and the other 50% are just taking gummint money and benefits that would otherwise be spent on citizens. But it's all about the economy?

Dumbass.

30 U.S. retail and restaurant sales edged up 0.2 percent in September from August. The modest gain came despite stubbornly high prices for groceries and housing. Economists say steady consumer spending is on track to push third-quarter economic growth to an annualized rate of three percent or higher, a notable acceleration from the 1.6 percent pace recorded in the first half of the year.

And with Inflation back under 3% this means people have real money to spend.

35 Kelly isn’t out of the woods and he knows it. He can put on the defiant face. But the fact is they can recall him to active status and run him through the process which would support at a minimum an Article 92 hearing. It’s more about the will and political capital than whether the process supports it.

Overall, what Democrats did is textbook color revolution stuff. The entire objective was to try and create disunity in the ranks, mutinous behavior and fear of prosecution for following lawful orders. It’s a disgrace that I have never seen across my years. It’s alarming not just in its hubris, but in its clear goal to subvert the CiNC and CoC. Democrats are not good people. They don’t have anyone’s interest in their hearts. Only their own thirst for power and dominion over the American people. Nobody should be fooled or mislead as to what’s going on here.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira, described by Homeland Security officials as “a criminal illegal alien from Brazil,” was detained in Revere, Massachusetts, after allegedly overstaying a B2 tourist visa that expired back on June 6, 1999.

But wait, there's more!

"This individual is the mother of Karoline’s nephew and they have not spoken in many years,” the source said. "The child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with his father since he was born. He has never resided with his mother.”

77 The CIA was doing straight up crazy stuff since the 1950s. Surviving documents aren’t too flattering. A trove was discovered, misfiled in a financial documents section that escaped Richard Helms order to burn anything related to the really hinky stuff.

Anyway, one doc straight up said “It’s important nobody ever finds out about this, it’s illegal as hell, and we’d get in a lot of trouble”. Par for the course, apparently. The assumption, a very dangerous one, was too often, or is “Well these guys are patriots, I don’t really want to know what they are doing, but I’m sure they are doing good work”.

Now when your company is ran by a team spread across the globe under an executive and they know the name of every important committee senator’s spouse and kids but f-all about your nobody life, you’re not getting the message.

And few piddling managers at a big company would risk it. Risk getting audited by payroll and contract compliance.

So 50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens, and the other 50% are just taking gummint money and benefits that would otherwise be spent on citizens. But it's all about the economy?

Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead...Wearing Pants and Working at November 26, 2025 07:57 AM (luW6

There's way more than 12 million illegals in this country. Still... "50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens" means that those citizens are likely "just taking gummint money and benefits" so all 12 million mentioned have a negative impact on the country.

Further, this assumes that the six million who have jobs don't have families. They don't have kids driving up the cost of schools. They don't have wives, or perhaps girlfriends, who may be on benefits. They don't go to ERs. Pull the other one.

140 WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Three members of the “DC-Nine” peaceful pro-life rescuers who were prosecuted by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ), convicted of unprecedented grave charges in 2023, and pardoned by President Donald Trump in January of this year, have attested that a supposed surveillance video used against them in court was manipulated, perhaps by an AI technology, to provide a “deep-fake” revision misconstruing their behavior as violent.

“In the first five minutes I knew that they were using fake video coverage,” said rescuer Jean Marshall in an interview with LifeSiteNews. “I said, ‘I don’t have to watch anymore. What I am seeing did not happen.’”

210 We don’t lock our doors at night on the house because we hate other people, we lock our doors because we love our family.

The collectivists want to destroy the nation state, and I see this at the micro level too. They are very insistent about this. A self described group, a collective if you will, is not allowed to define itself.

Thus, the Boy Scouts (for example) must allow atheist kiddie-fvckers to become Scoutmasters, or you can’t use the public school gymnasium any longer. An after school Christian group must admit Satanists, because it would be “discrimination”, etc.

When a politician says “That’s not who we are” it begs the unasked question of whether we are allowed to decide what we are going to be. Of course the answer is always “No” but they leave that part out.

I think you are framing the question wrong. Every country on this planet wants to plunder the US of anything it can get. Israel is just better than all other nations - they get huge support from Evangelicals, so its not so much ideology that is the driving force, its just that "helping Israel" is a political bonus in that on the balance sheet it leverages the most Goodwill.

China, unfortunately, doesn't have that form of Goodwill, so it must leverage money and power as its motivator. Mark Kelly loves money and power and hating America has no political or social downside, so the choice is easy.

Kelly swims in an ocean of America hating, so in that he finds comfort and moral support when he sells the country down the river for generation wealth, he can sleep at night.

257 OT: Saw Wicked 2 last night with the fam (in which the 3 gents had not seen Wicked 1) - a lovely time at the theater, and the possible woke theming subplot of "taking back one's home" works really well for us right now, since we're the ones who started here...so I don't see it woke (in fact, it could be the opposite). Plus, beautiful spectacle (my spouse said he'd never watch it at home, but the spectacle was worth the price of admission). Totally family friendly for all - if you need a movie this Thanksgiving. All of us gave it between B=/A- (and the spouse NEVER grades family movies that high). No need to watch the 1st - just know the good witch isn't all good, the evil witch isn't bad, and they are friends, and you're good...

Before I go - Bulg, you asked me about my new novel.

William Taylor was at least bisexual, as he had a wife and daughter (whom he abandoned), but was also having an affair with set designer George Hopkins.

The most generally accepted theory for his murder is that he was shot by Charlotte Shelby, mother of actress Mary Miles Minter, out of insane jealousy. The actress Mabel Normand is sometimes put forward as a possible suspect, as well.

Several years back, the author William Mann, in his book Tinseltown, offered the theory that Taylor's death was a blackmailing attempt gone wrong.

My book has a theory I have never seen. I don't know how people will take it.

And now I am out.

284 I was really hopeful Kelly was going to be Kamala's VP pick, and while I love Tim Walz I was disappointed he wasn't.

Wouldn't have unrigged the voting machines. Look up Smart elections lawsuit in NY. Shit is fishy 🤔

Mark Kelly is like the quintessential American hero. The OG Iron Man. Absolutely insane for MAGA to attack him. Shows their true colors, though.

Insane? Sure. Surprising? No. Remember when Trump made fun of McCain for being a POW? “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

Mark Kelly is everything Hegshit wishes he was. I’ve been saying that Hegshit chose the wrong family to fuck with.

Mark Kelly for president! Nothing makes Trump look more pathetic than trying to take shots at an actual American hero. Not a single person I can think of more intelligent and more qualified to be the commander in chief.

Trump and his cult of slow adults know Kelly is an American treasure that also happens to be a top-tier contender for the presidency. He’s a genuine threat to their corrupt administration.

285 They are enemies of the state and it's high time we all stop seeing them as anything other than that.

The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column. Journalism attracts the romantics that Want To Make A Difference. Building things up takes effort and swimming against the tide of sloth, selfishness, corruption and greed. Tearing things down is easy and it counts as "making a difference". So the lizard brain function is being satisfied with minimal effort.

Journalism is also not associated in any way with wealth generation. Its just a food pellet in exchange for n articles provided each week. This explains why scraping X and then adding a bunch of eyewash has been the usual tactic in satisfying the quid pro quo.

You also need to generate clicks - which means nearly all articles need to be rage-bait so that highly emotional nit-wits will "share" your article into a career boosting "viral article" based on views and "engagement".

So the formula for success is to plug-in to the zeitgeist, lie until the desire rage temperature is reached and then unleash onto the world.

Then she said how much she preferred cutting guy's hair to womens because we all usually got the same exact thing that we have been getting for 20 years. The only variation we might want is for it to be shorter.

Because if they don't, they'll never take the House again.
And without the House, they have no chance at the Presidency.

SCOTUS is likely to rule against minority-majority districts, against post-election ballot counting, and allow gerrymandering (except with clear, present and overt racist motives).
There's also a decent chance they end birthright citizenship.
And if they end mail-in ballots for all?

That's just the courts: Whoever wins 2028, controls the 2030 Census.
And whoever controls the Census, sets their party with a massive EC (and House) advantage for the next decade.
And sets the entire SCOTUS for decades ...

313 Setting aside everything else, just from a legal standpoint, I'm not sure what *could* constitute an illegal order from the President himself, besides an order that's a direct, black-letter Constitutional violation.

For example, I would think an order from the President to disarm law-abiding citizens would be an illegal order.

But there's nothing I can think of that would pertain to foreigners. If the President changed ROE in War XYZ and said "now, the orders are to liquidate the entire population of Sri Lanka," that would certainly be bad, but I can't see how it would be legal to defy him on it.

I taught cohorts of Chinese students for graduate study in administrative law for several years early in my academic career.

They had a intel minder in every class and you could tell because they were the most lazy of students that relied on others to do their work for them from fear.

One of the bravest Chinese that I had in my class was a defense attorney from China who was seeking our university's MPA to work in the judicial system. Chilling tales to my undergrads about how 'justice' worked in the PRC. At the time, I was teaching Comparative Law.

In part, "Donald Trump, serving as the 45th president of the United States, was impeached for the first time on December 18, 2019. On that date, the House of Representatives adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump's first impeachment took place after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election

373 bid, and had then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump's political opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine–⁠not Russia–⁠was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.[4][5] Wikipedia; much more followed. (Needed a quick, concise "source." Get over it.)

Do they need to speed another round of impeachment up? What's a big deal in 2026? The semiquincentennial – or 250th anniversary – of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! (Which some call it "America's birthday" for some reason.)

Does it persist? Or is MAGA only persisting because Donald Trump is President?

Is there a MAGA movement of any consequence outside of President Trump's leadership? Would the people in the MAGA movement be MAGA if they were not following orders from President Trump? Or are they just riding his coattails because that is the popular thing to do now and waiting until he is gone to revert back to their less-than-MAGA ways like what happened after the stolen 2020 election?

Charlie Kirk was supposedly the leader of the MAGA movement for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha. Is there anyone else who is supposedly as popular and influential as him?

Who are the MAGA leaders making a difference on their own in institutions and companies and government? And do they have popular support across the country like President Trump does?

Is there a Discover the Networks worthy network of groups and institutions for MAGA as there has been for decades for the Marxist Left?

The midterms will tell a lot regarding whether MAGA is a movement or MAGA is just President Trump's base that will splinter and die like the TEA Party.

Brilliant. Seems to be the strategy for the right for everything the left infects and takes over. Just let them have it. Let the Marxist left take over and destroy every American institution. Scouts, entertainment, sports, you name it.

Now it's the same with areas in America. Marxist leftists and Muslims and Third World savages taking over cities and states and the reaction is "fuck 'em, let those places die".

Funny way of "making America great again" by letting all the past American institutions be taken over by the Left and destroyed.

383 The butt scouts of amercia is no longer what older folks remember from years gone by. It is a refuge for pederasts and homosexuals to prey upon unsuspecting boys and their parents. I believe there is another boys scouting group out there that is faith based and seeks to avoid all the DEI/Nambla crowd.

384 Clyde, Scouting got taken over by the pedo loving left because pedos were loving on the BOY scouts and were rightfully criminally prosecuted. Hopefully the current pedo loving leftists that run the Boy Scouts integrated are behaving themselves.
Irony
It's not up to the Federal government to fix Scouting. It died long ago unfortunately. The voluntary association of Scouting's people are the responsible parties

Daily Tech News 26 November 2025

Top Story

TSMC, the world's leading manufacturer of high-end chips, says it can meet one third of the demand from AI buildouts. (Tom's Hardware)

Expect shortages of everything electronic. Except hobby stuff like the Raspberry Pi Pico which is made on equipment from 2008 that the AI guys don't even think about.
Rapidus - a new Japanese chipmaker funded by a list of the top companies in that country including Toyota and Sony - is set to start construction of a 1.4nm fab in Hokkaido in 2027. (Tom's Hardware)

Due to start production in 2029.

So don't expect relief from the crunch any time soon.

Unless the bubble bursts.

Tech News

Intel's Nova Lake CPUs - expected next year with up to 52 CPU cores - will also have up to 144MB of last-level cache, similar to AMD's X3D chips. (WCCFTech)

But you can't have the 52 cores and the 144MB of cache. The 52 core version has a second CPU die, and apparently the large cache version needs the space for its cache die. 28 cores max on those models, and only 8 of them full speed.

By comparison, AMD is expected to launch CPUs next year with 24 full speed cores, but no "efficiency" cores.
What is the role of tech journalism in a world where CEOs no longer feel shame? (Platformer)

Your role is to report the fucking news.

This is about that disastrous interview with Roblox's CEO, but also about reporters who have completely forgotten - if they ever knew - that their job is to report:
I'm still reckoning with what it means to do journalism in a world where the truth can barely hold anyone's attention - much less hold a platform accountable, in any real sense of that word. I'm rethinking how to cover tech policy at a time when it is being made by whim. I'm noticing the degree to which platforms wish to be judged only by their stated intentions, and almost never on the outcomes of anyone who uses them.
No sign of intelligent life.
Campbell's Soup's CISO and vice president Martin Bally has been put on leave after video of him surfaced declaiming that Chicken noodle soup is people! You're eating people! and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. (The Register)

Although the audio is garbled, in a later section he appears to cry out You maniacs! You blew it up!
Amazon has launched its Leo satellite internet, offering speeds of up to one gigabit per second. (Amazon)

Can you use it? Not yet. Trials for enterprise customers start next year.

Also, Amazon's satellite cloud falls just a little short of Starlink's: 150 vs. nearly 8000.

20 Whatever Intel does with their next gen chips they need to make it work and make some sales.

If they keep up with this long string of losses they’ve had the past few years there will be some serious talk of breaking it up or a fed buyout.

I don’t think Lisa Su would go for it, but AMD could get back in the fab business by buying a few of Intel’s.

If Intel can make 18A close to TSMC’s cutting edge nodes they might be able to pull out of this slump.

37 I like this WEST streaming channel that Dish has, I usually keep it on as background noise when I'm working in the mornings.

Only problem is that WEST, being brand new and a streaming channel doesn't have a big advertiser pool to work with yet so they're stuck with more than half of their commercials being Ad Council PSAs.

I've seen the "Head in the Cloud" anti-vape warning ad for parents. They usually play that 2 or 3 times in a row, followed by the other ad where dad is trying to talk to his teenage daughter about vaping and the only way he can get her attention is to do a TikTok dance fad while she tells him "You're doing it wrong" before she shows him how to dance the dance in front of an oval light and a camera.

Not to mention the "Asian Hate" PSA where the kinda cute Korean gal who owns a cab company, somewhere in CA I'm guessing, decided to give Asians free rides in her cabs so they don't have to walk and get harassed on the street.

Followed up by the PSA where they have asinger singing about "Walk a mile in my shoes" in old Gospel style.

I've seen every one of those 200 times in the last month at least. I can recite the actors lines before they do.

Someone on Althouse (yes, I know) suggested the bastard be brought back to active duty, assigned to Gitmo and tasked with cleaning latrines with a toothbrush. Then, every other day, bust him in rank for not doing it properly until you get him down to private, and then make him retire on a private's salary.

But, as many wiser than I have predicted, all that will happen is that he'll get a slap on the wrist, a "naughty, naughty!" wink and told to be more careful next time. Because, if you think the same FBI that persecuted Catholics and stood with their thumbs up their asses while Trump survived Butler is actually going to do anything, then I would like to sell you some Arizona Beachfront property.

64 How can you print meat?

The most common approach involves using bio-ink composed of cultured animal cells, which are grown from stem cells isolated from a tissue sample and then multiplied to form a cellular mass. This bio-ink is loaded into a 3D printer, which deposits the material through a nozzle following instructions from computer-aided design (CAD) software to replicate the desired meat structure, such as a steak. After printing, the structure is typically placed in an incubator to allow the cells to differentiate into muscle and fat cells, forming tissue similar to real meat.

75 60 I don't understand this. How can you print meat? Maybe I don't want to know.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 26, 2025 05:39 AM (ix8EF)

Food printing hasn't hit mainstream yet, but it's coming, along with printing pharmaceuticals and eventually biological material.

It works the same way a 3D printer works.
You start with different protein & fat packs, and the printer will print out the meat like a 3D printer does, layer by layer on top of each other.

They've already printed out chicken, steaks and hamburgers.
But the flavor hasn't been perfected yet and doesn't taste real.

Once they get over that hurdle we'll start seeing 3D printed meats if the governments of the world allow it.

This should take you back: when most cuts of meat were still sold as a hunk, they were all stamped "Grade A" or "prime," in blue ink. It was grape juice. Haven't seen it in this millennium.

I'd think the tricky part of meat printing would be resettable type.

106 Odd dream last night . . . I was aboard a research vessel heading down past Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure what the destination was -- Antarctica? The boat was not huge but not the S.S. Minnow either. At first I was a passenger below decks. Then I was up in the cabin, detailed to record the trip with a video camera.

The most vivid parts were as we churned through rough, literally black seas (though it was daylight and not even raining, just overcast), steering around red-black outcrops of stone that jutted out of the ocean. Then we made port somewhere in southern New Zealand (I was told): a dreary and rainy town where half the people we saw were old, feeble, and gray. "The blocks get longer after here," the captain said.

We discovered while there that one of our passengers had planted huge bombs in the cargo hold designed to blow us up. As the captain was ordering them removed and defused, I woke up.

140 'Tis 63 F., a bit of wind at 11 mph, high humidity. It may be a good fifteen degrees cooler tomorrow morning. So I'd better get in my workout today.

Then I'll have errands, including feeding the car and hitting Walmart before the Walmartians do. For her birthday on 12/1, Miss Linda wants some flavored coffee offered at our local grocery chain. Today is the last day of the sale, so I need to grab it today.

They've turned the term "sexual assault" into a complete joke due to overuse.

Yes, lady, the half-naked guy sleeping on his own couch, probably drunk out of his mind, was a real asshole for leaving the door open, but it doesn't qualify as sexual assault in any sense of the term.

"Assault on your eyes": most definitely.
"Rape": not in a million years, sweetheart.

You screwed up and now you're just making excuses and trying to get some sympathy clicks to your GoFundMe.

So, I've done over 5,000 Doordash deliveries and I have never once, thought, "Oh, maybe I should open their door and look inside instead of just leaving the order on the porch, like they requested."

157 also:

Attorney here, charging the trespass is a waste of time considering there's two dead to rights felony charges already on the table. She's a Doordasher, all it takes is her attorney going "she didn't read the leave it at the door part it was a mistake" and its suddenly an issue that would have be decided at trial. She's so incredibly, overwhelmingly, screwed on the unlawful surveillance charges any defense attorney will tell her to take a deal for a lesser sentence and be done with it.

Even with her being window licking levels of stupid her screaming assault will turn a case into a media circus, and getting a quick guilty plea to end it is definitely the way to go.

You Don't See This Every Day

Motorist in North Carolina tells 911: ‘I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield’

A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville.
It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons Wednesday morning or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it.
“You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”

Check out the whole thing. I wonder if this falls into the "we've seen a thing or two" bucket that one insurance company always mentions.

Who Among You Has a Vanvera?

Come on, fess up. One of you has a 17th century fart catcher in your possession.

The vanvera was a strange accessory worn primarily by female aristocrats that allowed them to discreetly pass gas during social events.
The origins and history of the vanvera are shrouded in mystery; some sources claim it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, while others that it was inspired by Roman creativity, but there is no real evidence that this gas-muffling invention has its roots in ancient history. What everyone seems to agree on is that the vanvera was used by the aristocracy of that era, primarily women who could easily conceal it under their large, elaborate dresses.
The vanvera on display at the Sex Machines Museum in Prague consists of a leather pouch that connects to the wearer’s behind, muffling farts and containing the foul-smelling gases during social events. It can then be emptied in private by squeezing the pouch.

Guys would totally use this differently. "Dude, you shoulda smelled this one I ripped last night. Oh wait, I got it here in my vanvera - check it out!" {pooooofffff}

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Sounds awesome! Elder son of mine and I did something similar a few years ago. First Thanksgiving without the lovely late Mrs. Doof. Younger son was overseas doing his gap year thing. The 2 of us traveled to Lexington for several days. Did some stops on the Bourbon Trail. Went to the UK vs Louisville game. We made Thanksgiving dinner before we left MD and heated it up in the hotel. Watched hockey and college football and basketball, played cards, and drank bourbon. Was a fantastic time!

I was five miles down the road, heading to the Hayden valley where all the buffalo hang out. Finally I got a ride. Turns out it was a line cook who was also heading to Lake Hotel.

I never hitched again. And now that I think about it, why did my luggage get delivered but I didn't? The hell?

Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

87 >>> When's the last time you saw someone hitching a ride?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at November 25, 2025 10:20 PM (pkeXY)

In the early 90s. I was driving to work late night, stopping at an intersection, and this chick suddenly comes up and asks for a ride home. My back seat was full of camping gear from the weekend that I hadn't cleared out. She asked what that stuff was in a quiet, "are you an axe murderer voice". Oh, that's just camping stuff, so where am I taking you, I got 10min to get to work. She told me and I dropped her off at a house then sped to work.

I think about her occasionally. I hope she makes better decisions.

But in ‘84 it built to a second peak with Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Victoria Principal, Dana Carvey and others - a few more wonderful seasons til it faded again.
And the final high was the David Spade - Chris Farley - Norm McDonald era. After that, which was in the 90’s, it was never worth watching again.

132 ** NOT A PAID SEASONAL ADVERTISEMENT **

If you have someone for whom it it is difficult to shop -- and they like coffee, I'd like to suggest getting them an order from Porto Rico Importing (note the spelling). If they grind their own beans, even better. They have the freshest beans around. The place moves coffee beans. The store has been in business since 1907, for whatever that's worth.

I'd go for pound sampler packs: A blend, a country and a flavor. The flavor's easy, hazelnut; it tastes great both hot and cold. For the blend I'd go with Peter's Blend. A darker roast, full-bodied yet not bitter; a good cup of coffee. I've tried some of their other blends but this one's the best. For the country, go with the Costa Rican. A medium roast, full-bodied coffee with an interesting flavor profile. (I didn't like the flavor profiles of the African coffee beans I've tried and I've only had Hawaiian Kona from the 'Asia and the Pacific' section.) You could add their New Orleans blend, as they have a good recipe using chicory; when you drink a cup, you're transported to Cafe du Monde in The Quarter. A Columbian bean is always a solid choice.

1/2

Posted by: RickZ at November 25, 2025 10:49 PM (gKDq2)

133 2/2

Or, if you really, really love that person, you can give them Hawaiian Kona @ $74/lb. (absolutely delicious, a nutty coffee with a chocolate undertone) or Jamaican Blue Mountain @ $106/lb (never had it but from all reports it's supposed to be The Nectar of the Gods coffee-wise).

They will grind beans to your request, course, fine, etc., though I never do that as I get whole beans.

134 Evening, folken. It's been a strange day.

I remember the sequential blinker lights on the mid-'60s Thunderbirds. Though I'd forgotten that the Cougar, Mercury's answer to the T-Bird, had them too. Didn't some other car companies offer them a little later?

Earlier this year we saw a Cougar, well-restored, outside a coffee shop/bakery in a suburban town near us. I knew what it was immediately, though I hadn't seen one since the late '90s in Denver. Black, with a red interior, it was amazing in its proportions and styling. The hood and trunk each seemed twice as long as a mid-size car today, and the vehicle was low to the ground -- though it hadn't been lowered as far as I know.

The owner said it was the first year, the 1967. Not the XR-7 model, the "sporty" one with the toggle switches on the dash like the Jaguar E-Type of those days.

Murray wasn't part of the "original" cast-- he was a writer season one and came on in season two after Chevy Chase left to make movies. (Foul Play, not exactly a comedy classic.) They got into a fight when Chase returned as a guess host.

But I concede that Murray is considered part of original glory days.

153 Cougar was initially a gussied-up Mustang on the Mustang platform. At some point in the mid '70's, it became a clone of the Thunderbird on the Thunderbird platform.

171 The only hitchhiking I did was during the annual Yellowstone river boat float. A three day float from Livingston to Laurel with about 200+ rafts, boats, pontoon boats as company.

People shuttled up and down the river to go back upstream or downstream pick up their cars and then drive them to the next stopping point. So people with cars at a location would pick up obvious hitchhiking float people and take them to their cars.

My grandfather hunted rabbits by that method (ball peen hammer) when he was a youth during the Depression.

He said he got one out of about every three throws. He said a hit only stunned the rabbits, so you had to run up and throttle them before they re-gathered their wits.

I have eaten rabbit stew and squirrel pot pie at his house when I was a youth. However, he could afford .22lr ammo by that time!

Eh. I've had bad luck with expired evap milk. I no longer buy "extra" when it's on sale.

Open it & sniff. If it has no smell, pour a little bit into a glass & check the color. Should be off-white, not yellow. Bet it's soured.

245 Greetings Hordlings from your Old China Hand, Publius Redux. Was up early this AM here in Singapore, and saw that somehow you guys had all p*ssed of Ace, forcing him to punish us with the insane scribblings of non-entity, attention-whore, mentally-imbalanced and talent-lacking Olivia Nuzzi. Why? What did you guys do? Kick Ace's dog? Sleep with his girlfriend, I mean, wth? On a serious note, why does this idiot Nuzzi even get any attention by anyone? Because she "almost" had an affair with RFKJr? I believe we have another way to say "almost had an affair" and I believe that other way is "didn't" - as in "Nuzzi didn't have an affair with RFK Jr." No, sending someone insane, bunny-boiler, stalker texts does not count as "having an affair." Also - slight point of order from the other day - I believe the Ace stye guide would dictate that instead of "James Carville's less attractive testicle," you should instead say "James Carville's LEAST attractive testicle."

248 No clue whats going on for thanksgiving. I'm supposed to go to my brothers. His inlaws, AKA "the wax museum" who are way into their 90's and biden loving pricks may or may not be there. Getting them out of the car, and then into the car is like prepping the Apollo astronauts for launch, because they drive and are content to be a road disaster in the making. My inlaws are probably going to Mrs B's sister's house. My MIL, AKA "the ham fairy" switched it up this year and blew off the ham and i her infinite wisdom decided to get a 25 pound turkey.... for 5 people. I'm sensing a turkey fairy in my future. Mrs B's sister got her hand operated on today, so I'm sure she'll appreciate the ease of hauling around a 25 pound turkey. Sooo, the decision is do we go there so Mrs B can help her sister since her parents aren't strong enough to lift the fart bag shown above, and we come home with a trunk load of turkey, or go to my brothers and watch the wax museum face plant into their dinner plate when they fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.

254 The sequential taillight mechanism reminded me of how 1980's Volvo's 'lamp out' module worked. It was essentially a round red plastic canister about three inches high by maybe one and one-half inches diameter with about 13 plug pins on the bottom.

Inside were three boards with small reed switches corresponding to various outside lights. Each reed switch corresponded to a set of lights - headlights, taillights, etc. Wrapped around each reed switch were the wires corresponding to the left and right bulbs of each set of lights. As long as both bulbs were lit, the magnetic field from each wire cancelled out and the switch stayed in the neutral 'off' position. If a bulb was out, no current would flow in the corresponding wire, and the magnetic field from the other wire pulled the switch to a closed position and illuminated a 'bulb out' lamp on the dash.

Gabich?

He lives about 1/4 mile away. I invited him for holiday meals-- Thanksgiving and Christmas-- every year for the last decade. He worked graveyard shift; hubby & I worked days... so the compromise was that "dinner" would be at 10pm to accommodate his schedule. (we usually had the next day off, so it wasn't a problem to stay up late)

Last couple of holidays, he accepted the invitations but NO SHOW. Didn't even call to cancel! I called him: ugh, still asleep... call back in an hour? Ok. An hour later: ugh, too tired...

Fk it. If he can't be arsed to drive 2 minutes, forget it. I'm DONE cooking a whole holiday meal for 3 people. Now, it's just me. Pfft. Cheeseburger!!!!!

301 I cooked a pile of bacon today, for prep. Seems like the more turkey I cook, the more bacon I end up needing.

Plus the added joy of inviting a "gluten-intolerant" drama queen, so I have to make special stuffing with that weird gluten-free bread.

Lots on the menu, because we have 11 coming. Big-ass turkey, which I shall cook unstuffed because I don't want to have to cook it forever.

Stuffing, potatoes, gravy (I found all three gravy pitchers, thank heaven), spinach salad with bacon and honey mustard dressing, fruit salad, rolls, cranberry sauce (made that two days ago), pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream.

Before that, there's the pre-dinner spread for football: cheese ball, various cheeses, sliced meats, crackers of all kinds, fritos and onion dip, plus crudites, grapes, berries, apple-bacon jam I made yesterday, several different jellies I made this past fall (raspberry, grapefruit, orange, dreamcicle), ranch dip, whatever I come across in the fridge that looks good to serve.

Posted by: BarelyScaryMary at November 26, 2025 12:32 AM (ys6FW)

When I redid the kitchen we ordered the appliances months before the cabinets came in, because it was about a year out of covid and supply was still a little shaky. There was a choice of a 2 rack dishwasher, with 56 people on a waiting list, or the 3 rack with only a few people on the list, so 3 rack it was. I wasn't sure the 3 rack was going to work, I figured to fit in 3 racks it might cramp the other 2. Well the interior was taller, which became glaring once I went to install it had almost no room under it to work. In the end it worked like a charm, the middle rack is adjustable for height, so no cramping the other racks, and Mrs b packs the shit out of that thing, and everything comes out spotless.

321 I absolutely love cooking for people, and hosting dinners and parties. I think some of that is a lost art. My mom's generation did house parties all the damned time, which was mostly an excuse to get blotto and check out the other ladies in the neighborhood. My parties usually include pistol shooting off the back porch and way too much food. I considered putting in a bunk room so folks could drink like they wanted to, but so far we settle for a few spots in the camper if things get spicy.

I did get the 16 digit one correct.

Young Dick Feynman, working at Los Alamos, showed how using such for password equivalents is not too smart. He cracked a bunch of safe combinations one time by reasoning, hey what would ol' Niels Bohr there think is some string of digits so arcane and obscure that he would think only he would be clever enough to think of?

It took him only a few tries to huess the combinations.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 26, 2025 12:27 AM (w6EFb)

Current passwords, especially when you have to use a symbol in them, makes them easier to brute force than not. They are also hard to remember for the user, so it forces them to write them down someplace accessible, which defeats the entire purpose of passwords.

A much better solution is to remember a phrase or sentence and use that as the password. Much harder to crack, unless someone knows you very well.

Had to have a dead tree removed this spring. There was a galvanized pipe (fence post? about 2.5inch dia.) stuck in the ground right next to the trunk, and tree had grown into it somewhat. No way to just soak the ground & yank the pipe out.

Sawzall to the rescue! Cut smooth as silk, right through that pipe in about 5 seconds, as low as I could get it.

Tagged the stub with fluorescent pink spray paint & pointed it out to the tree crew, so nobody would get hurt.

380 I worked for a really rich guy back in the 90's that had a whole probably 60 by 100 foot room full of silver silverware. Mounted on the walls in cabinets and dispay cases. From all over the world. Paid people to keep on top of the polishing. Freaking weirdo who owned everything in town. I wouldn't even venture to guess how many sets.

The Beastmaster Cafe

R to L: A Siberian tiger, a scratching post, lunch

This better not be AI.

This astronomy is making me horny.

Grooming your doe, if you know what I mean.

Lion dad summons Chip.

A mama bear leads her troop of cubs through the snow.

Polar bear cub crawls all over mama.

Kitty's got claws.

Olivia Nuzzi just took a flea and tick bath.

Prairie dog yahoos to the chickens. Like Beastmaster's did. (Beastmaster actually had ferrets, I think, whom he called "my friends," but I don't have a ferret video so just play along and pretend he had a prairie dog. Sometimes a post's theme is like Olivia Nuzzi's metaphors -- it has to be forced.)

A bird, maybe an owl, camouflages itself as a log. I'm just glad it didn't reveal itself to be a spider.

Here's the Beastmaster training his dog to dance. (The Beastmaster had a dog, he just wasn't in the movie.)

Lion brothers fight over the bed.

Beastmaster definitely had a leopard. (Or a panther, though commenters have told me these are the same animal.) That one's right on the poster.

Here's the trailer. They make a direct appeal to the Dungeons and Dragons set. I don't really remember the trailer. I do remember that it was on HBO after school, every single day, playing multiple times between 3 and 8. HBO used to reserve R-rated movies for night time and that meant the day was nonstop Beastmaster, Rocky III, Labyrinth, and then topped off by another airing of Beastmaster. Sometimes Beastmaster would come on right after If You Could See What I Hear, about some blind guy, and then you'd have Marc Singer double feature. Here's part one of that great movie.

This is claimed to be the best parts of Beastmaster. The best parts of Beastmaster are actually just "all of Beastmaster," thank you very much.

This was Don Coscarelli's follow-up to Phantasm. Odd move but I guess he just needed to tell the story of Dar.

Beastmaster only has three gears: Awesome, So Awesome You Wouldn't Even Believe It, and the highest gear, "Beastmaster."

I agree.

Held in protective custody until trial because they should be treated as outlaws and subject to whatever the good citizenry chooses to do with them. Unless the request protective custody and dand a trial.

If convicted they get the ol' eye for an eye (or whatever) and left as their victim was.

For a bit of irony, back when I was a teenager, I had a friend who was a bit of nature girl. She had a pet bluejay and one day, while she was walking, it was sitting on her shoulder.

Suddenly it took off and flew right at her house, nailing something that looked like a vine or twig hanging from the siding.

Turns out it was a praying mantis that failed camoflage school.

Trump Turns Turkey Pardoning Ceremony Into Roast of Joe Biden's Autopen Pardons

These pardons weren't signed by autopen. They'll hold up in court.

President Trump turned Tuesday's White House turkey pardon into a full-blown political roast, using the annual tradition to take a swipe at Joe Biden's "autopen" pardons and even joking that he briefly considered naming this year's birds "Chuck and Nancy."
...
Turning to Gobble and Waddle--described by Trump as "two of the fattest, happiest turkeys we've ever had here"--the president joked that when he first saw their photos, he almost went with "Chuck and Nancy." "But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them," he added. "I would never pardon those two people."
Gobble and Waddle join a long list of clemency actions in Trump's second term, a tally that already exceeds 1,700 pardons along with numerous commutations. Trump joked that several aides were prematurely preparing to send the birds through El Salvador's anti-gang confinement system--a reference to the administration's deportation push. "Even these turkeys don't want to go there," he said.
Trump also veered into Chicago crime. The president has repeatedly accused Pritzker and the city's mayor of refusing to work with him on a federal crime-reduction effort. "The mayor is incompetent and the governor is a big fat slob," Trump said, stressing that the prepared joke went too easy on Pritzker. "Some speechwriter wrote something about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to say he's a fat slob. I'd like to lose a few pounds too, by the way--and I'm not going to lose it on Thanksgiving."

A DOJ employee was arrested and booked on terrorism and evidence tampering charges for doxxing a federal agent during a raid in Brownsville, Texas.

Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the US Attorney’s Office in Brownsville, appeared on a live stream of a federal raid on June 9.

A male joined the livestream and issued a death threat against one of the federal agents conducting a raid.

Another viewer of the livestream, later identified as Karen Olvera De Leon, doxxed the federal agent and provided his identity to the man issuing the death threat.

There are a few people who Trump pardoned that the Left is screaming over. They claim that they are "supporters" and being pardoned because of that.

In reality, they were prosecuted because the were Trump supporters, and it is good and proper for Trump to undo the unfair and biased prosecutions, especially since the courts, juries, judges, and even defense conspired against them.

Posted by: ... at November 25, 2025 06:56 PM (E0p3T)

123 My version on those little potatoes: bake them until almost done, then smush a crater in the middle with the back of a spoon, add a pat of butter with some grated cheese, crumbled bacon (and some sour cream for the people that like it). Bake for five more minutes and serve.

Posted by: Pillage Idiot at November 25, 2025 06:51 PM

125 For gold potatoes, I do them one of two ways.

You can do them as a normal baked potato. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and grease it (oil works, butter is better). Wrap the potato in the greased foil and bake it for a while. Around an hour at 350 should do it, but keep an eye on it Unwrap 'em, cut 'em in half, go to town with whatever you like on a baked potato.

The other way is sort of roasted, which is my preference. Cut them in half long-ways and array them on a baking sheet. Put salt and pepper on them in quantities that match your preference. Put a generous - if it looks like too much, it's probably enough - amount of butter on each potato half. Use Irish butter if you have it. Bake for about an hour or so at 350. You can convert it to broil for a minute or two at the end to brown them if desired.

I recently read a story of Sherman's troops, where one unit was resting on the front lawn of a plantation house during a march, while the women of the plantation were watching them carefully from the porch, and one of the men noticed the ground where he was laying had been disturbed. With a whoop to his buddies that he had found treasure buried to keep it from the Union soldiers, they started digging and unearthed a reeking box that turned out to have the decayed body of a spaniel in it.

One of the ladies on the porch commented archly, "Poor Curly isn't destined to find peace in this world or the next, that's the third time he's been dug up today."

Amazing: The New York Times Profiles an Illegal Alien Who Stole an American Man's Identity and Caused Him 20 Years of Legal Nightmares.
The Times Say They're Both Victims.

Via David Strom, who quotes the New York Times asserting that both the citizen whose identity was stolen, and the identity thief himself, are both victims of the same broken system and equally deserving of our sympathies.

Dan Kluver saw the police lights flashing in his rearview mirror late last year and eased his car onto the shoulder, thinking there had been some kind of mistake. He had spent four decades in rural Minnesota without ever getting into trouble. He prided himself on a life built around dependability and routine, working at the same factory where his father once did and spending his weekends coaching baseball and teaching Sunday school. He had never fired a gun, or smoked a cigarette, or missed a payment, or been arrested.
"License and registration, please," the officer said. Kluver, 42, handed them over and waited while the officer went back to his patrol car. He listened to the church bells that rang every hour and watched sunlight reflect off the grain silos in downtown Olivia, where he knew most of the 2,400 residents, including the officer who was walking back to his car.
"Is everything all right?" Kluver asked.
"It's strange, but it looks like your license has been suspended," the officer said. "You've got another driver's license with some issues down in Missouri."
"What?" Kluver said. "I've barely ever been to Missouri. How's that possible?"
The officer had no answers, but Kluver feared he might know what was happening. Over the years, there had been signs that something wasn't right -- stray letters about wages earned in unfamiliar towns and collection notices for debt that wasn't his. Kluver had tried to untangle the mess several times by hiring tax specialists and driving to government offices across the state only to run into the same bureaucratic dead ends. But now the problem was bigger than unpaid taxes. Someone was impersonating him, moving through the world as Dan Kluver, building a life in his name with a government-issued ID.

The identity thief used his Social Security to illegally work. The thief kept the money paid for his illegal labor -- but this citizen got "credited" with the thief's salary, which pushed his tax liabilities up, pushing him, in fact, into a higher tax bracket.

He was expected to pay the taxes on the thief's earnings while the thief kept the earnings himself.

As you can see, they were both victims here.

...
Some years the other Dan Kluver had earned more than his own salary at a local sugar beet factory, which pushed the total income under his Social Security number into a higher tax bracket as the debt started to mount. Twice, he'd contacted law enforcement and filed an identity theft report with the federal government, where it landed in a pile along with tens of thousands of similar reports filed each year. He waited for relief while the I.R.S. docked his annual tax returns and garnished a few of his paychecks, costing him thousands. Finally, a few months before their wedding in 2012, Kristy decided to pay off the balance, emptying her savings and sending in a check for $6,000. Their relief lasted until the next tax season, when a new bill arrived -- this one for $22,000.
They spent the next decade living with the consequences -- annual tax audits, budgets that never added up, whispered arguments after the kids went to bed. Kluver kept calling government numbers and waiting on hold until he eventually resigned himself to a payment plan. He agreed to send the I.R.S. $150 each month, which he'd done more than 35 times. "I can't keep obsessing over this and getting nowhere," he told Kristy. "I need to think about something else."

Now the Times turns to the thief. I mean, The Other, More Deserving Victim.

He had lived under enough names and numbers in the United States that they started to blur together. Vincent Trujillo. Reynaldo Guerra. And then, for more than a decade, Daniel Kluver -- the name he used until he could barely remember what it felt like to exist as himself: Romeo Pérez-Bravo, 42, a Guatemalan immigrant who had spent most of his adult life working under borrowed identities.

"Borrowed." They won't even say "stolen."

...
Perez-Bravo had come to the United States for the first time at 16 to help earn money for his family, traveling alone to join his father in Marshall, Minn. He hiked out of the Guatemalan highlands, rode atop a freight train for three weeks across Mexico, nearly drowned in the Rio Grande and took a Greyhound to Middle America, where life somehow felt harder. He slept on a couch in his father's apartment and enrolled in high school despite speaking almost no English. Then he began to look for a job, but no one would hire an underage worker without papers.

No one would hire an illegal immigrant barred by the law from working, you mean.

He's definitely the victim. He was forced to steal Dan Kluvin's identity and make his life a living hell.

Read the whole thing from David Strom. The New York Times continues doubling down on the narrative that the first victim of Perez-Bravo's serial identity theft was... Perez-Bravo himself.

The narrative, man. Stick to the narrative. The law-abiding citizen whose life is being turned upside-down may be a victim, but Perez-Bravo has a story to tell, too.

This is exactly the kind of logic that lets criminals walk the streets after tens of arrests. They are people too, so if you look at it the right way, everybody is a victim.
And Kluver is white, so really, he is the privileged one and should be happy to help out his brown brother, who suffers from oppression that is almost as bad as Michelle Obama's.

And he also "paid the price."

He was charged with aggravated identity theft and false representation of a Social Security number and was held in detention for six weeks before an initial bond hearing in April. The State of Missouri argued that he was a flight risk who needed to remain in custody until the trial. "What's to stop him from going out and getting another identity and just living underneath that," the prosecutor told the judge. "We've seen that before."
But Perez-Bravo had most of his family and several members of his church at the hearing, and his lawyer said that he was "connected to the city in deep ways."

The Times believes that it was outrageous for the prosecutor to assert that this serial identity thief might just steal another identity and flee the court's jurisdiction under a new name if he were set free.

Absolutely outrageous! He has "deep" "connections" to the city he's currently living illegally in!

Amber Duke was herself a victim of a identity thief.

Almost as much a victim of identity thief as the identity thief herself.

She doesn't think her identity thief was the Real Victim Here.

About seven years ago, my identity was stolen in a data breach. I found out fairly quickly because one of the thieves made a mistake: the receipts for their fraudulent purchases were sent to my email address. It still took almost two weeks to shut down the accounts opened in my name and clear them from my credit reports. I was constantly stressed and paranoid and couldn't focus on anything else in my life until my credit was cleared and locked down.
I was lucky that I caught the identity theft early. Some people spend years digging themselves out after someone else pretends to be them.
...
Pérez-Bravo had stolen multiple identities throughout his time in the U.S. While living here, he got several DUIs. He was deported in 2005, 2008 and 2009 but came back each time and stole another American's info.

...
The story gets even more unbelievable from there. Pérez-Bravo was involved in a fatal accident that killed a 68-year-old grandfather and injured his 9-year-old granddaughter. He was cleared of wrongdoing but the family filed a wrongful death suit against Kluver, whose name was on the fake license Pérez-Bravo provided at the scene.
The police eventually found Pérez-Bravo and he has been charged for his crimes. Nonetheless, the NYT report paints him as just as much a sympathetic victim as Kluver, describing him as a family man and hard worker who essentially had no choice but to steal an identity so he could make money for his family.

I'm so sick of it.

If liberals want to impose liberal policies on the country, they have to at least make sure the worst excesses of those policies are checked.

They cannot allow maniacs to prowl the subway stations throwing grandmothers in front of trains, for example.

And they cannot lionize criminal identity thief illegals.

They have to show that they can demonstrate compassion without turning all of society into violent chaos.

But they can't -- and the new breed doesn't even try.

Their attitude is You deserve it, Colonialist Oppressors.

So all of the illegals will have to go. If there's no protection for the citizens, there is certainly no protection for the fucking illegals.

Kick them out. Kick them all out.

29 Everyone needs some credit monitoring service. It’s pretty cheap $10/mo usually. Get it and check it often. Any new debt will show up there and you can take action. And on top of that lock your credit at all 3 credit bureaus, transunion, experian and equitable. This way no credit checks can be done on you. Without that it’s tough to open new accounts.

It’s not 100% full proof but goes a long way in stopping this kind of nightmare from happening.

41 Ace is gradually working his way to my position. If the new breed of leftist can't be reasoned with, you need to get rid of their props (criminals both native and alien). That's Ace's current position.

My further position (which he and others will eventually get to), is that if these leftists aren't bound to any kind of shared ethics like Kennedy or Carter arguably were, we have to get rid of the leftists too.

Hell, we should give stays of deportation to illegals who will help us get rid of native born leftists. That would be amusing (and then we could make money broadcasting the results).

50 Why is it that, when a criminal steals an innocent person's identify, the thieving becomes the resonsibility of the innocent person? If someone steals my credit card information and uses it to buy lavish means at Applebee's, I feel like Applebee's and the credit card company got scammed.

76 I had my identity stolen some years back. No one would help me I went to the state police and all they did was give me a case number. Whoever got my identity was local because he kept opening cell phone and internet accounts in my name and actually got a town dump pass using my identity. He even voted in my place once which I find extremely disturbing and insane.

He opened an ebay account with my info and sold tons of fake stuff on it before it finally caught up with him. I found out one night when some random guy called me about a $64,000 antique guitar I was supposedly selling on ebay. He got suspicious and looked my real name up and called our home phone instead of the ebay listing number. We had to lock everything down but he kept opening cell phone accounts in my name for months after that.

This is internally impossible. The premise here is nonsensical. The only point in pursuing a policy is to pursue it to its maximum level. Even if that isn't the *intent,* it absolutely will be the *outcome.* All policies are pursued to their maximum absurdity. This is one of many reasons the originalist policy of, essentially, "have no policy at all wherever possible" is so valuable - it, too, is pursued to its maximum until policy changes.

This is inevitable. The leftists' policies will be pursued to the maximum. No checks. No limits. It can be no other way. Same goes for non-leftist policy, of course, but I prefer non-leftist policies in general.

Since when does "compassion" have anything to do with anything? They barely even mouth the words anymore, and they never had any meaning.

It isn't about being "good" or "moral" or "compassionate" or whatever. It can't be even if that was the initial intent (which I doubt). A person can be charitable or compassionate or whatever else, but an institution cannot be. Institutional compassion is a contradiction in terms and trying to make one - or pretending to be one - can lead only to pathological excess of whatever it is the institution is doing.

-------

I think its a simpler story than we're full. We lock our personal residence (even if one rents). We do that because we choose who we allow to enter, and when, and under what circumstances. There are people who I would let in were they to drop by at 6 in the evening that aren't gaining entry at 2 in the morning. There are other people who won't be allowed entry at all.

Why would running a country's borders be any different than managing one's front door?

117 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks

I was home sick and watched on Court TV the day that 'mental health' professionals appeared before a Judge saying that Geyser was A-Okay to be released from the Mental Hospital back in to society. The Judge gave her conditional release to a group home. The lawyers on TV were dumbfounded and asked during the break if the Judge and these mental health bozos would be comfortable having her in their homes baby sitting their kids. Well we see how this all worked out. Group homes are not confinement and ankle bracelets are easily dismantled.

This has been a thing for years. The Dems have even complained that it is a reasona we can't "afford" to deport them.

Go ahead, try to file two returns and get two refunds, and tell us how that works out for you.

The illegals don't file, they don't get refunds, and in return the IRS and Treasury ignores their use of the SSNs. Everyone who has been exposed to the scam knows how this works, and it is why you can use the same SSN for a dozen illegals.

178 Garnishing someone for wages earned by an illegal using their name and SSN is very common. Often it can be solved by declaring a stolen ID, but sometimes the state or feds don't care because f___ you pay me.

This is why I insist the first step to resolve this is for taxing authorities to refuse to allow employee write-offs to the employer for wages paid if there is a mismatch for SSN DOB and name, or if the employee shows up in multiple states or multiple employers.
There can be a three year period in which if the employer can get the employee to provide proof of identity the employer can amend or refile, otherwise it is flagged as fraudulent.

184 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

Marxism is also just an untidy lump of borrowed concepts from better philosophies. You can easily show how it collapses if people just refuse to work but collect on their need. Abilities are finite, needs are not.

188 Really, "You're blathering" should be the answer to a lot of assertions by progs.

What do you mean when you say "fascist"?
What do you mean when you say "racist"?
What do you mean when you say "unfair"?

Most people have a Y Level† of 1, maybe 2. When they say "fascist" or "unfair" the Y Level is zero.

Why are you protesting today?

† They make a statement, you ask "Why?" and they answer, then ask "Why?" again. When they get to the point they can't answer, there is your Y Level.

Although you can go overboard investing in Nietzsche, I think that's right in the ballpark of his "Master Morality". "Master Morality" says "I'm good. You're bad."

You are good when you serve me and my interests and you are bad when you counter them or compete with me for them.

True, but Nietzsche is not saying that's "moral", he's saying that's a base morality. He prefers it to "Slave Morality" which says "I am Evil". People who sublimate Nietzsche would say that FN really believes that a "Master Morality" refined through an appreciation of "aesthetics" (art) is really the better path forward.

"Master Morality" is not a suggestion, but a description of existing moral-related behavior.

So they become more extreme, willing to sacrifice you and your children to try and maintain a fairy tale in their head. “Your Death Before Their Dishonor.”

Of the two victims, the identity thief is actually more victimy and therefore better. Anyway, he's doing more to burn down a systematically oppressive system which is an example of criminals actually helping to tear down a system which cannot meet the insane dialectical "ideals" and so must not continue.

For Some Reason, Vanity Fair Will Publish an "Abstract Nude" Photo of Its New West Coast Editor and Weird Dick-Riding Flake Olivia Nuzzi

What is an "abstract nude"? I don't know. I imagine it's a nude photo which has been digitally altered with various effects and geometric pixelations so you can't see her beaver.

And based on reports, you'll be among the very select group of people who haven't seen her beaver.

This is the media now. This is "journalism."

And do we want to see this? I grant you that she does not have any particular feature which would disqualify her from being "attractive." She's not hugely overweight, she's not decrepitly aged, she has the full complement of limbs and teeth.

But beyond that, is this... "beautiful"? As literally every media outlet demands you believe?

She's a Panera Bread 5.

But whatever, you're going to get to see a picture of her beaver as digitally altered by an Instagram filter. Maybe her beaver will have wacky year 2000 New Years Eve glasses on it or something.

My headline "Olivia Nuzzi's Got a Fuzzi and Wants All the World to See It" turns out to have been prescient, no?

Almost as if I owned a time machine, which I will have assured you, in the future, that I do not have.

Vanity Fair's glossy Hollywood issue will feature an abstract nude portrait of scandal-plagued editor Olivia Nuzzi -- even as staffers privately gripe that she has failed to carry out core duties since joining the magazine, according to a report.
The portrait, drawn by artist Isabelle Brourman, will appear in the new print edition that is scheduled to hit newsstands on Dec. 2. No image of the drawing appears to have been circulated publicly, and it's unclear if renderings of the drawing have been produced or circulated among Vanity Fair staffers.

Oh it's a drawing? So it'll be like a cubist sketch of her beaver?

Will it be Escher-like? Will we see various older men walking up and down non-Euclidean stairs into her beaver?

The sketch was commissioned months before the latest wave of allegations engulfed the 32-year-old writer, according to Status.
Brourman previously collaborated with Nuzzi during her tenure at New York Magazine, which ended weeks after it was learned that she had a "sexting" relationship with then-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The inclusion of the abstract sketch in Vanity Fair's marquee issue has fueled internal backlash at a moment when the publication is already struggling to contain the fallout of her most recent controversies.

Apparently some staffers complain that, apart from lining up her next affair with a Democrat politician forty years her senior, she doesn't seem to work very much.

Inside Vanity Fair, the controversy has collided with mounting frustration over Nuzzi's limited output. Staffers told Status she has skipped routine meetings and failed to turn in assigned work.
Two people told the newsletter that one of her other editing assignments for the most recent issue of the magazine was not completed, leaving colleagues scrambling as the publication closed one of its most scrutinized annual issues.
The turbulence has placed newly appointed editorial director Mark Guiducci under immediate pressure.
Guiducci, who took over in June, has addressed staff at least twice since the allegations resurfaced, according to the Status report.
At a team meeting Thursday, he explained how he first met Nuzzi and tried to calm anxieties inside the newsroom, the newsletter reported.
He also downplayed the allegations, calling them "difficult to investigate because they occurred while she was employed elsewhere," according to Status.
But some staffers remain skeptical that Nuzzi can continue in an editing role when she has produced little work while generating heavy turbulence, according to Status.

Is her talent of such a high level that she's worth all of this "turbulence?"

Well, having skimmed excerpts from her sexual tell-all book American Canto -- which reportedly will feature some of the dirty sexts she exchanged with RFKJr. -- I would say that, as a writer, she's no Ryan Lizza.

Not enough bamboo, for one thing.

She begins by discussing the fires that consumed the Palisades, and asserts that the Palisades fires were very much like the negative publicity she received after her sexting affair was exposed.

A few minutes later, the planes swooped down to spray the flames in the bluffs. I watched from the Pacific Coast Highway, as far away from my problems as I could get on land, which was not far enough.
You cannot outrun your life on fire.

Below, apparently her cute gimmick is to refer to RFKJr. only as "The Politician," even though we all know who she means and in fact her publisher's publicity department is out there selling the book by promising RFKJr.'s sext messages.

I would take a bullet for you," the Politician said. He always said that. "Please don't say that," I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible.

What?

I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment.

I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny. I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein. Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I winced when he joked about the worm. "Baby, don't worry," he said. "It's not a worm." A doctor he trusted had reviewed the scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times, he said, and concluded that the shadowy figure was likely not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already vaulted from the sphere of meme to the sphere of screwy legend, but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain.

Let me interrupt to say that Sex and the City ruined would-be female writer.

That show established the terrible trope that female writers are supposed to always look at some very mundane, very trivial AWFL consumer purchase and then make "clever" observations about it and spin that into some (let me get out my supply of Superfluous Quotes) " " " " deep " " " " point about life and -- especially -- dating and sex.

Like, for example, Sarah Jessica Parker will be munching an everything bagel and wondering if all the spices clash with each other and then begin babbling about whether or not one can or should try to have an "everything relationship" or if one should have separate bagels -- different people -- to fulfill different needs. Maybe we need a Sex Bagel and a Confidante Bagel and a Going Shopping on Sunday Bagel. Maybe it's wrong to expect or even want an Everything Bagel for every situation.

I don't know how that monologue would continue because I just shot myself through the temple. Good-bye Cruel World.

Avenge me.

You get what I'm talking about though, right?, I asked ghostilly. This horrific trope has infected so much female writing that... okay, I just basically won't read modern female writers. I pre-judge them. I assume that they're going to do the Sex and the City "clever" observations thing and I say: No.

This reminds me of John Scalzi's quote: The failure state of "clever" is "asshole." In other words, if you try to be funny but the joke doesn't land, the failure state is that you weren't funny. If you try to make a serious point but fail to convince, the failure state is that you did not persuade your audience.

But if you try to be "clever" -- meaning, what you're really saying isn't about the joke or the statement, it's about you, and it's about you trying to convince people that you're oh-so "clever" and smart -- the failure state isn't just that you failed to be clever.

The failure state is that you're an asshole.

I think that's true. Yes, I don't like failed jokes, but I really despise failed "cleverness." Cleverness is a particularly smug, look-at-me form of expression that really rankles when it fails. (Which is often.)

Olivia Nuzzi and Her Abstract Nude Fuzzi does not quite cross into Sarah Jessica Parker talking about bagels territory, but you can see the damage that that terrible show (written entirely by gay men) did to future female writers.

...
As a child, I became convinced that death was not random, that life was the process of investigating what the point of it was, and as soon as you figured it out, in that very instant, you would ascend. God would eliminate you from this plane. He could not risk a leaker walking among the ignorant. The assignment was to crack the case for yourself. And when I would find myself thinking too hard about the central question, I would back away slowly, thinking, Well, I will return to this matter some other time when I feel more ready to possibly meet my end. What if I guessed correctly?
The unsolvable puzzle. Tripping once, on a balcony in Washington overlooking the National Cathedral. Smoking what I did not know was my final cigarette. Unless someone offers me a Capri, which does not count. The great cosmic riddle, I figured I had solved it. The joke was that the joke was never done being told.

Maybe we need a Philosphical Musing Bagel that we can make gaseous philosophical speculations with.

The wildfire is over my shoulder now, over the hill. The waxing gibbous moon is over my head. A thought bubble, it shines blankly. Across the country, the Politician is the guest of honor. Across the country with his wife. With Mike Tyson for some reason. People are mocking the photos, asking where I am, asking how she could stand there after all that.
I know how. The earth here is hot. Inside the bonfire, what evidence can I burn? I think of all I turned to ash in hotel rooms. I think of how you cannot burn a cloud. I think of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, how there were so many, how the officials did not know what to do with them, and how fire seldom seemed to occur, though the White House and the president's properties are studded with fireplaces. Too easy. I worry.

She really thinks her life is like the Palisades Fires, which killed, what, like 20 people?

I worry about evil. If it is a force, if it is like the Santa Ana winds, if it may come on suddenly, if it may grab hold, if it may depart but not completely, if it may leave word, if the word might sound good, if I might again believe it. The snake charmer, the man-eater, the devil himself. Was it ever a question, that where there was a cloak there would be a dagger? A friend told me once, "Never trust anyone wearing a lapel pin." This politician did not wear one of those.
Midnight, 3,000 acres burning.
A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.
People ask me now about anger. About my lack of it. How? How could I not be enraged? I think this over. I scan the terrain of my body. My chest, my spine, behind my belly button. I look for pale pulses of idle fury, waiting for the alarm to sound at the trip wire of my veins. There is nothing there. There is nothing there because I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand.
You cannot live in America without thinking about guns, without thinking that one day you might not live anymore in America, and the reason will be a gun. 46,728 lives ended in America in 2023 because of a gun. 27,300 suicides. 17,927 homicides. 604 police shootings. 463 accidents. 434 undetermined. On the 405, a billboard announces that gun injuries are the number one cause of death for American children. You think: A gun will protect me from guns. Then you recall the statistic, that a gun in your home doubles your chances of dying by homicide. Still I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand.

God, I know You have more important matters on Your mind, but: Why do You allow this evil?

The existence of Olivia Nuzzi's writing proves that God cannot both be all-good and all-powerful.

Now back to "The Politician." Shit, even there she's aping Sex and the City, as Carrie only referred to her real estate millionaire fuck-buddy as "Mr. Big." I don't think they revealed his actual name.

...
Like all men but more so, he was a hunter. In a literal sense, he used not a bullet but a bird. It was not about a chase but about a puzzle of logic and skill that amounted to a test of his self-mastery. He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself. I understood this just as I came to understand the range of his kinks and complexes and how they fit within what I thought I understood of his soul.
The spark, the flame, the rumor fulfilled. The labyrinth on fire. The Palisades fire.
10:30 a.m., 10 acres burning.
10:50 a.m., 20 acres burning.

What the fuck are you talking about, Madam, and would you mind stopping talking about it?

She continues likening her out-of-control life to the California wildfires and then gets back to Mr. Big, I mean, The Politician.

A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself.
It was the flag. When I close my eyes in search of the end or the start, the place at which before stopped and beyond which now began, that is what I see. The blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white, stretched and folded, pulled apart, undefined yet unmistakable, the flag. There was no one day, one moment, one event, one decision, one word that marked the change. There was the flag as it mutated from metaphorical to literal weapon, as it was marred by a corruption of the American character that could not be understood or even fully observed through the prism of the partisan binary. Which is to say that it was the flag, but it was not about the flag, not about notions of patriotism or nationalism or idolatry. It was the flag that thrashed in psychedelic distress, suggested a bend in lanes of reason, a tear in the fabric of consensus reality.

Maybe she needs a Flag Metaphor Bagel, too.

You see what I mean? This is just Carrie Bradshaw Does Politics. She's obsessing over a mundane physical thing, a flag, and attempting to babble about it until she accidentally uncovers the secrets of the universe.

In this period of now, from 2015 to 2025, in which the man through whom the culture was synthesized achieved dominance, I found myself fixated on the flag, on the way the flag expressed how the country was warping, and yet the magnitude of this change could not be categorized appropriately or cataloged completely amid such amnesia. At the southern border or the White House or the Midwestern auto factory or the boat in the Atlantic or the truck rolling beside the Pacific, the very flag that had been clutched like pearls at the turn of the century was refashioned as costume jewelry. Red, white, and blue asphyxiated blue, gray, and black. Stars and Stripes a backdrop for the star of the country. One stripe remade a banner across which his campaign slogan crawled.

She's talking about a flag, but, get this, she's really talking about Trump.

Clever.

And you know what they say about the failure state of clever.

...
As the edited flags waved strange and ominous, my job was to bear witness to the processes of American presidential politics, to travel the country and attempt to understand those who sought or wielded or influenced executive power. I had never been interested in politics, exactly.

Really? You don't say. I couldn't tell that you were not at all interested in politics from the way you were babbling about the outer perimeters of politics while trying to remain focused on what really matters, the worm in the Politician's brain.

Here she continues babbling some nonsense vaguely about "politics." As she's already confessed, she's not interested in politics, but she's writing a book that purports to be about politics, and this is the best she can offer: fractured sense-impressions half-remembered from that time she took magic mushrooms while watching Abby Philip interviewing Brian Stelter.

Everything seemed suddenly flexible. With all information available at all times to all people, all matters appeared potentially negotiable. Fine fractures splintered deep, fanned out far, cracked up for good. The parties were over. The system was moot. Vast interconnectedness and mass overstimulation gave way to individual isolation and nihilistic boredom so total that it all but invited the ascendant mob-mentality politics of comic relief and sadistic catharsis.
Our more flammable world. Arson, the national pastime. Self-immolation, well.

Just like everything is Bagels with Carrie Bradshaw, so with Olivia Nuzzi everything is fire.

...
Events lost context. Words lost meaning. Denier. Nothing could be believed because everything was subject to change. Truther. Everything could be believed because anything was possible; this was at once inspirational slogan and active threat.

Psst: She's still babbling about Trump, in case you fell asleep six vague paragraphs ago.

A promise was only a suggestion. A suggestion was only a joke, unless you were not moved to laugh; then the joke was on you.
In this reality, reality ceased to feel real.
Shots rang out. The story of the relationship had broken, the bullet metaphorical. My phone rang again. "I need you to take a bullet for me," the Politician said. "Please."
New York closed in. City and magazine. New York I fled. I drove west. I did not feel alone now. Not yet.
What I felt was that the country had snaked its hand up my skirt. What I felt was that I had been lanced by the teeth of a trap set by a man who could not let me go; that as I tried to free myself, the man for whom I worked had run off with the key to the padlock; that the contradiction in terms, the man I trusted most, the Politician, had walked by the scene whistling, and when he saw me there, a mob on the horizon moving closer, he reached out to me, not to lift me to my feet but to pin me down, to drive the teeth of the trap deeper into my flesh, to hike my skirt higher, to wave the mob over to look, to invite the country to lay its hands on me.

This is her very overwrought way of saying, "RFKJr. asked me to lie about the sexting affair for him and I was hurt that we would ask that."

But it sounds so mundane when you say it that way. So instead we get a lot Jazz Odyssey riffing about hands going up skirts and flesh being torn by steel traps.

Also, I'm pretty sure, we'll be hearing about The Fire That Is My Fabulous Life again shortly.

And flags. Weaponized flags.

In the news, the Politician offers a united front and a rewritten history. My vow of silence does not feel like enough. I wish to fall silent on myself too. I wish to sink into the sea. To flee behind the curve of the earth. To emerge a new shape, a stranger. To stop giving fake names in coffee shops. To never see myself, the character of myself imagined by others, viral allegory of hubris, female avatar of Icarus, stripped and left for dead in a pool of wax. I do not wish to be understood, which no one seems to understand.

As Shakespeare observed: Brevity may be the soul of wit, but padding the hell out a few trivial incidents is the only way to extend an anecdote into book-length form.

Birds of prey circle. It is inconceivable, it seems, that someone would choose to allow a crisis to go to waste, would not want to make of their attention more attention, would not want to reap some kind of short-term profit from the mess of their life.
The paparazzi, the calculating ones, write to tell me where their colleagues are staking me out. New York. Washington. Outside my brother's house, where they get into an altercation with a neighbor. Never anywhere I am. They think that if they do me this favor, I will cut a deal and agree to be photographed by them in exchange for what they advertise as control over my image. My Image, a ship that has sailed and sunk. The offer includes a promise that doubles as a threat: If I accept their terms, I will be left alone the rest of the time, which means that if I do not accept their terms, I will not be left alone.

Let me put that more directly: Reporters are calling her asking for comment on the sexting affair. She doesn't want to answer.

The fire burns.

...
I am talking, of course, about how it happened between me and the Politician. I am talking, of course, about how it happened between the country and the president. I cannot talk about one without the other.

Trump had its way with America like RFKJr. had his way with her?

What?

A long time ago I listed to a podcast by the We Hate Movies guys about the Steven King movie Dreamcatcher. A joke they kept making was that Steven King was in his coke phase -- meaning, "his entire career" -- in which he never edited, revised, or trimmed anything he wrote. Everything just came right out of his head, unpolished, straight to the page and then straight to typeset and publication.

"Clickety-clack," they kept saying, to simulate the sound of Steven King's never-pausing typewriter vomiting up words.

Olivia Nuzzi is a clickety-clack "writer" herself. Is my life like fire? Clickety-clack. Maybe it's like a bear trap tearing into my ankle? Clickety-clack. Maybe Trump's seduction of America is like RFKJr. seducing me? Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack, we're contractually obligated to deliver 80,000 words to the publisher by next Tuesday and we absolutely cannot afford the time needed to evaluate whether any of this makes sense and we definitely cannot afford to start cutting words. We have to just add words, and add words, and add more words, whether they make sense when arranged next to each other or not.

Clickety-clack.

In the discourse someone I have met before jokes about my murder. Others contact me to warn me that such a thing is not a joke but a possibility. I was not going to sleep anyhow.

Spoiler: She was not murdered.

People often, often people I do not know very well, reach out to tell me that I have appeared in their dreams. I wonder if this is because I sleep so little.

Clickety-clack.

If the version of me who lives on the plane of dreams tires of waiting for me to release her to action, if she goes out searching for places where she may exist without my permission, if she identifies the minds of those who have felt any kindness toward me, if she thinks that within their dreams she might get to live freely instead. I wonder, too, if this is a function of being a visible face but a veiled personality. If my impression contains empty space that renders me an adaptable idea and thus a useful device for subconscious minds. It is nice to think of this, that I might still be in some way, to someone, of use.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack. Remember, she's not interest in politics. That's why we're now Eight Deep into an extended narcissistic fantasy about her appearing in other people's dreams.

I mean to tell you as best I can what it was to face the unrealness, to stand so close that it seemed at times almost plausible, to tiptoe along the edge of the abyss, and to balance there just long enough to forget that the plates would soon shift.

Shorter version: "My life felt unreal to me." But you're not going to hit 80,000 words with sentences like "My life felt unreal to me."

Clickety-clack.

I mean to tell you of the canyon where voices carried. The place where monsters spoke to me. Where I listened. Where I found that, as fortune or curse would have it, I knew the language of monsters....

Because I care about you, I'm going to do what Little Miss Clickety-Clack will not do and edit this and end this fresh prologned digression about nothing. But she continues babbling about monsters and canyons.

No I lied, I'm including it. You've all been disappointing me recently and this is what you get.

I mean to tell you that, as it relates to monsters, little can be assured beyond their ceaseless want. That you feed the monster, and the monster wants only more. That here you have surrendered to the endless transaction, and through the terms on which you meet the monster you are transformed monstrous, too, for the day that the monster is done wanting is the day that the sun does not rise; want makes the monster as sun makes the day.

Okay but I will show mercy and cut it there.

I mean to tell you that this is more meaningful and more meaningless than you might think.

As to the latter: I'm sold, baby.

...
The flag winked beside the lanes that bent to borders that faded to barriers that fell to the lines I crossed.

Back to this metaphor which stands for nothing at all.

..
When I open my eyes I see, still, the blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white.
I mean to tell you now as best I can.

Not everyone can write like Olivia Nuzzi.

I never would have heard of Nuzzi if it weren’t for @AceofSpadesHQ. I don’t know whether to thank Ace or throw turd balls at him — that’s pretty much every day.

Behold the genius of Olivia Nuzzi:

Her writing is long-form Vogon prose, which would drive even them mad.

It is unhinged stream-of-consciousness that doesn't even bother with theme or coherence.

A mind reader, able to stand at a New York intersection listening to the simultaneous mumblings of 10,000 souls at a time, would struggle to decipher her writing and would retreat to the relative sanity of the crowded city.

But the left lives in this odd ever changing bubble. Do you know there is a literal trans-genocide? Ignore, for a moment that 10 years ago gay rights activists would have told you trannies were weird freaks and there are no such things as trans-rights.

No dear penthouse here although someone else heard the conversation and raised an eyebrow. But truth was she was just a very straightforward gal, the kind that survives in male dominated engineering, and would just say what she was thinking. Much younger than me, and married. We had been through a lot of crazy crap together and would talk about anything really. She was great to work with. Yes, she was also extremely attractive.

285 Olivis's got herself a big brown beaver
And she shows it off to all her friends
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her
So she caged him up with cyclone fence
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said, "Recognize that smell?
Smells like seven layers
That beaver eats Taco Bell"

346 Campbell's VP Admits Soup Is "S**t For F**king Poor People" With "Chicken... From A 3D-Printer"

Robert Garza, a cybersecurity analyst for the company, was meeting at a restaurant with Martin Bally, one of Campbell’s vice presidents, to discuss his salary.

He secretly recorded statements made by the VP and chief information security officer during a November 2024 meeting. In a rant that lasted over an hour, here are some of the things captured on the recording.

Local 4 News in Detroit broadcast portions of the recording. In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying,
--“We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**‘s in it.”

--He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

Posted by: Ace at 04:20 PM

That fits with what I have found as a 29-year-old, that it gets harder and harder to meet and connect with people, since experience makes it clearer and clearer that it's unlikely to be worth it. There's a natural human tendency to be *worse* to people the closer they are, as if testing it, so you're likely to be treated better by them by remaining a mere acquaintance.

This ties in with the brilliant He-Man PSA meme that I have quoted before, "There are two kinds of people: avoid them both. Until next time, friends!" Some are charismatic jerks who will treat you shabbily because they're accustomed to getting away with it, and others are nice by habit because they're boring and accustomed to getting tossed at the first meanness. Then there's the worst of both worlds: middling people who are nice until you start to be their friend, at which point they start being jerks, as if in relief to finally (they think) be able to get away with it. Best to avoid both.

I got that reference! Yes, I think this is another case where K-Smog and Batboy got caught flipping a grunt.

369 Compare and contrast for literary profundity.

"He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself."

OR

"I BREAK BITCHES!"

Which is the more evocative? Just asking for a friend.

Jim Acosta. Every photo of him looks as if it should be captioned, "Dear Diary: My farts, though always delightful, have never been more fragrant. I think it was the anise in the Italian sausage. I should have it more often."

372 I think she was writing for Obama back in 2008. About when she should have been aborted, Oh, what a story she would have written.
"I just want to eat my waffle."
So profound. The syrup, brown, like his father, butter, nearly white, like his mother. The waffle, toasted to be in between, with hills and valleys, swelling like his rhetoric and holes where his soul should have been. Red, the color of his passionate Marxism, splayed violently over his hash browns. He stirs his coffee with a spoon like Big Mike taking him from behind.
This is Obama, my muse, my mystery.

373 One of my favourite factoids about _Sex and the City_ is that the original book is much more realistic: Carrie Bradshaw routinely wakes up curled around the toilet with dried vomit and se*en in her hair. The book is _unflinching_ about just how self-destructive this empty lifestyle is. When it was optioned, and given to Darren Star, he said "Jesus, I can't make something out of this women will watch" - and proceeded to turn the whole thing into a consequence-less Cinderella fairy tale for slutty urban women.

And yet I know so many such women who take the show as gospel, as if it's realistic and relatable.

Leftwing Propaganda Media Declares DOGE Dead

Reuters is claiming that DOGE is dead.

They claimed disco was dead, too. But it still lives on in garrett's heart.

Matt Margolis reports on Reuters cutting and splicing an official's comments to make it sound like he's urging J6 protesters to burn down the Capitol.

Wait, that's what they did to Trump on J6. I mean, they edited his comments to make it sound like he's saying DOGE is dead, when that isn't what he said at all.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was launched with a bold mission: cut the fat out of the federal government and save taxpayer money. The left hates DOGE and everything about it.
So, you can imagine how thrilled Democrats were when Reuters reported on Monday that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore.

U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump's pledge to slash the government's size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings.
" That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.
The media pounced on this narrative, declaring DOGE dead, the usual suspects drooling over their keyboards to write misleading headlines, delivering eulogies declaring DOGE a failure.
But, DOGE isn't dead. In fact, the article claiming that DOGE doesn't exist anymore was actually true. Kupor's full comments were spliced. Here's how the article actually read:

"That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.
It is no longer a "centralized entity," Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.
Kupor went on X and blasted Reuters for splicing his comments, clarifying that DOGE as a formal agency might be no more, and that its leadership has shifted under the U.S. Digital Service; the mission itself isn't dead.

Scott Kupor
@skupor
Good editing by @reuters - spliced my full comments across paragraphs 2/3 to create a grabbing headline 🙂 The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under @USDS. But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc. DOGE catalyzed these changes; the agencies along with @USOPM and @WHOMB will institutionalize them!

John Loftus writes that DOGE, whether technically dead or not, largely failed in its mission.

Unfortunately, Elon Musk wasn't able to deliver on the $2 trillion in savings, then cut to $1 trillion, he promised. (And this sparked his earlier feud with Trump.)

DOGE pledged to save the American taxpayers $1 trillion, but they have fallen well short of that goal, even according to their own accounting. As of Monday, DOGE's website claims the department had secured $214 billion in savings, equivalent to $1,329.19 per taxpayer, through a combination of "asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions."
...
All of these discrepancies suggest that DOGE has, in some cases, overstated the savings it achieved. A CBS News analysis published in August found that some cuts were overstated by as much as 97 percent.
DOGE secured minor victories, saved taxpayers a tiny chunk of change, and brought government waste, usually a dry topic, into the spotlight for several news cycles over the course of the year. But the fact remains that the Pentagon budget is still grossly high, with the Trump administration proposing a $1 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2026. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is estimated to increase deficits by $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years. The United States is $38 trillion in debt and counting. And DOGE's $214 billion in savings, whether that figure is even accurate or not, amounts to a drop of water in an ocean.
In a sense, DOGE was successful insofar as it was a marketing tool to placate fiscal conservatives. It made for good headlines, and it made it seem like the administration was draining the Swamp for real this time. But it is still business as usual in the morass of D.C., which means more deficit spending, an unaccountable military-industrial complex and a Pentagon that has failed seven straight audits.

I don't think this country will be serious about cutting spending until forced to at the end of a bankruptcy/default gun.
